RADIOCABINET.

Application-filed Marchl'?, 1924. Seria-1 No. 697,482.

T0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JosnrH A. RAYDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia,.in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented Vnew and useful Improvements in Radiocabinets, of which the following is a specitication.

This invention relates to cabinets for reproducing instruments in general such as are usually employed to contain instrumentalities whereby previously made records may be reproduced, and it has more particular reference to cabinets for the enclosure of wireless receiving sets.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a cabinet of the type referred to by the employment of which tonal reproduction is greatly enhanced.

Another object of this invent-ion is to provide a cabinet of the character designated which effectively insulates the enclosed reproducing instrumentalities from extraneous influences tendering to interfere therewith and mar the clarity of reproduction.

A further object of my invention is to provide a cabinet for wireless receiving systems whereby body capacity interference is to all intents eliminated` while the range of amplification and audibility of reproduction are greatly enchanced.

`With the foregoing and other objectsin view as will become apparent from the following description, my invention consists essentially in producing a cabinet of the character specified entirely from superfine glass, said cabinet being characterized by` structural features and associated parts functional as added elements whereby the objects and advantages hereabove specified are ensured.

In the further disclosure of the invention reference will be made to the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrative of one practical embodiment thereof and more especially useful for the enclosure of radio sets.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a radio cabinet constructed in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional plan taken on the line 2-2 in the preceding figure; and

Figure 3 is a vertical section on the llne \3-3 in Figure 1, as viewed in the direction of the arrows.

Referring more. particularly to the views, andan accordance with the embodiment of my invention illustrated, I mould or otherwlse fashion from superfine glass an lappropriately configured casing, comprehensively designated by the numeral 4.. This casing 4-as adapted to house a three tube radio-set-comprises a base 5 of substantial thickness the erimetrical edges whereof are sultably beve ed to give an attractive appearance. Integral with the aforesaid base 5 are a pluralityof front and back vertical corner columns 6, 6, 7, 7, respectively, between which are integral side walls 8, 8 and a back wall 9, while the aforesaid base 5 1s polygonally apertured to provide corner pieces 10, 10 that serve as suppo-rtsfor the panel base 11 which I preferably make of some other insulate material than wood-as .commonly employed-in order to eectively prevent the instrumentalities contained. in the casing 4 from deleterious influence by atmospheric' moisture and the like.

Verticallyfof the front corner columns 6, 6 I provide opposed grooves or channels 12, 12 which function as guiding seats for the glass panel 13 in which are associated the usual varicoupler dial 14, the grid 15,

and the lamp/.or vacuum-tube controls 16,`

16, 1 6, all of which are-in accordance with my inventionmade of superfine glass to e ec tively eliminate body capacity and other interferences.

The cover 17 of my novel cabinet 4 is also made of superne glass and it is provided with a surrounding and depending .lip 18 adapted to prevent its lateral displacement while effectively preventing the ingress of dust and moisture to said cabinet.

From the foregoing it will be readily seen that by my invention I have provided a novel orm of all glass radio cabinet by the use of which the' hereinbefore asserted ob-y jects and advantages are ensured, and I wish it clearly understood the particular form shown and described is by way of eX- al' le only.

bviously the form and Ldesign of myv novel cabinet for reproducing instrumentalltles may be consldered varied and m0d= fied to suit different requirements, while there may be associated with the base a glass loud speaker horn--if desired-so that the set may embrace a complete and u-p-to-date radio unit.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1.. A radio cibinet composed of glass and consisting ofA an apertured base having integral opposed sides and an end wall, a removable panel constituting the front wall, andra lip ed cover therefor.

2. A raio cabinet composed of glass and consisting of a. polygonally apertured base having integral opposed sides and an end panel constituting the front wall havin slidmg en agement in grooves` in opposed y apertured base t forced by vertical columns, a removable 25 vertical co umns, and adownwardly llpped `cover therefor.`

In testimony whereof .I 'aix my ture this 3rd da. of March, 1924.

XOSEPH A. RAYDER.
